PAINTINGS FROM NEW YORK 2003: THE LADY OF THE ANTS SERIES, is presenting a Miscellaneous selection of a new series of small works on paper: monotype and editions of 15 prints, acrylic silkscreened on B.F.K. Rives paper, 25 x 25 cm. About the work : "Lady of the Ants" are my last prints realized in September 2003 at my Long Island City, New York studio. It is printed mainly in monotype and 5 editions of 15 prints, acrylic silkscreened on B.F.K. Rives paper 10"x10". It have been shown at Gallery 138, New York, in February 2005. This serial work is a repetition of a mirrored image (taken from an pre-olombian Maya vase) of one Mayan deity mixing with life, sex, spirits and death symbols. The subtle color variations bring the viewer mind in a state of contemplation and conscious cosmic connection.
The essential in this edition are color and light. Images and symbols are carriers of dreams and actors of the sacred. I experienced throughout shamanic trances a place were oneself can meet with the spirits. Those prints are memories of rare, magical, light-full and mystical encounters. They are anti-violence against mankind humongous stupidity.This body of art works have been completed at the Long Island City (queens, NY) artist's studio, were Jean-Pierre lived between 1995 and 2003.
